We had a trailer, in fact we ended up with 2 trailers.. We had our ride, a few minor adjustments to each quad, make sure all was well; especially with my 150 import, Shug re-done the valves, carb strip down, new exhaust port drilled and fixed, it was the test day for me, this day would either make me burn it or keep it..
After 2 weeks of planning and preparation the day was upon us,
“The Quad Day Out“
We had four quads with us on the day, these are listed below,
The plan was simple head up the hills & follow the old Greenock line of Roman wells and see if we could make it to a old cart trail which carries over the Greenock hills to a set of little old farmhouse’s just next to the Gryfe Reservoir, which is were my bro Marty, myself along with and a few friends would spend the autumn, winter months playing hooky from school.
On this day we would see how far these little babies could take us, We knew from the start that it was going to be a challenge just to get to the first Roman well.

Well heres the start of it, rescued from the local scrap-heap, this rolling chassis was laying there and i felt bad about just walking past it, I knew the first time i seen it it could be something, but after pondering for a while I drove off thinking what a waste, it wasn’t until later that afternoon when the guys showed up, we talked about it and decided f**k it, and drove all the way back and shoehorned it into the back of the car….

Sunday afternoon standing at our fantastic location on the quad track, we were watching big martin rip it up on the wee mans big quad, just as he began his run round the top corner the quad wanted to go another way from his body and caused it to flip..

This was a near miss between the Quad and bike as they race to the corner were the bike slightly moves in front of the quad causing it to catch the back wheel of the bike nearly throwing him off it..

Now that you’re block is ready, onto the “Final Assembly” section of the video and installing your camshaft. We recommend Crane Cams.
You will need all of your cam bearings installed first. You will need moly lube on the distributor drive gear and all of the lobes of your cam. To avoid a mess only do one section of lobes at a time and rest the cam on a journal to lube the next section. It should be freely rotating after installation.
